Short Paper: Moral Development And Dilemma Assignment

This short paper assignment requires that you locate an individual not  associated with this course to interview. The interview will take  approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. The interview will be most  effective in person, but if this is not possible the interview can take  place over the phone, through email, or through any other appropriate  means of technology. During the interview, you will present the  interviewee with the Heinz dilemma, made famous by Kohlberg, and after a  review of the dilemma, you will ask follow-up questions. You will  review your interviewee’s responses and select which stage of moral  development is indicated by the each of the responses. You will reflect  on if you believe this is an accurate assessment of the individual’s  level of moral development. Utilizing criticisms of Kohlberg’s model and  this experience, you will construct a position on the utility of  Kohlberg’s model for assessing moral development. Consider if Kohlberg’s  theory accounts for atypical moral development (i.e., criminal behavior  or aggressive actions).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
